How many computers do you have running at your house? Me, I am tipping the scales at 5. 1 Game machine. 1 Laptop 1 Linux Box 1 Dev Box 1 Beefy box to handle my VMs for testing, builds, and playing with betas. I've recently "simplified" things a bit in order to get down to this number :). Before depending on what I was developing or testing I would have anywhere from 8 - 10 boxes running. I am looking at cutting it down further if I can reasonably move my dev box and linux box to a VM.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Four 1) My own box, AMD64 4200x2, 2gb RAM 2) Web server, AMD64 3200, 2gb RAM 3) Compaq Laptop, Intel P4 1.6, 1Gb RAM - game server for another 4 or 5 weeks 4) Wife's box - AMD 1ghz athlon, 1gb RAM I have the hardware to upgrade my wife's machine to be a AMD64 3500/1gb RAM/ATI X1900GT, but she hates it when I upgrade her stuff because I don't always remember to reinstall all her games.

4, plus several virtual machines 1) mine, shared by my mother and father (yes, I'm still living with them), dual-booting XP and Vista Beta 2) my sister's 3) a file server/iis/virtual machines host 4) a notebook, that is currently serving as a paperweight if you count the virtual machines, I have 3 Windows Server 2003, two XPs, two Vistas and the Visual Studio Orcas (that I'm still trying to get it to work)

My personal machines: Desktop machine for development work and testing Laptop for portability etc Others in the house My sisters desktop Sisters laptop Dad's backup server Others in Pi Logic (home-run business) Front-desk - for emails and Skype phone Mum's - Accounting & personal use FPGA development machine Dad's laptop EEPROM programmer laptop (running at 66MHz :omg:) 2x File Servers 2x Embedded Software Development 2x old laptops for various testing on old systems. AutoCAD machine (running DOS and getting its power from a tractor battery) Others in PL2 (Pi Logic 2), 2nd Pi Logic building 3 for various testing and accessing the network And probably another 5 or 6 in pieces which have been canabalised. So in total there are 20 operational computers exluding any micros.

You'd have to be specific here because we refer to house as the entire farm, as you can see these computers are spread across three buildings but takes under a minute to walk from either extremity.
If you're stuck in a rut: 1) Consult the documentation* 2) Google it 3) Ask a sensible question 4) Try an ancient ritualistic knowledge summoning (:badger::badger::badger:) dance :jig: 5) Phone :bob: * - If the documentation is MSDN > 6.0 then forget it!

Well ok, on the condition that they have to be running it's only 21: 12 Windows servers (2x Win 2000, the rest are 2003, with three 64 bit) 3 PCs (old dev boxes that moved down the food chain, all XP) 2 Linux servers (CentOS, running Asterisk) 2 Laptops (XP, in bad need of upgrading) 1 Dev machine (XP 64 bit) 1 Media centre box (XP MCE) I hope to lose one of the old PCs in a few weeks by passing it on to a friend. I'm not including the 150 computers stacked on my living room floor[^] because those aren't actually running. ;P

4-6 Main XP machine (Everything not work related other than music) Work laptop My laptop (mainly used for running Cubase) Linux box And not actually in use at the moment because they relate to projects that are on hold - Work development server Sun workstation There's also several others in cupboards going right back to my first Yamaha MSX music computer (I don't think I've ever thrown one out.)

6 for now... 1. File Server - athlon 2. Performance Machine - athlon, dev and gaming 3. Media PC for living room - athlon 4. Personal Laptop - dell 5. Fiances Laptop - dell 6. An old POS dell(PIII) that doesn't get used much (fiance's old machine) And it will probably expand soon since the performance machine is getting on in age. It'll shift to a second file server and be replaced by something multi-core. But maybe then I'll dump the old dell. I don't think I'll ever get below 4-5 machines so long as I keep dedicated Media PC's for TV. J

Quite ironically, I use as much energy keeping the computer rooms cool with air conditioning as I do to generate the heat in the first place. Such a terrible, terrible waste. :( I would love to channel the heat off elsewhere. I've been toying with the idea of directing the warm air from the condensors back inside through the eaves of the house, then at least the roof space will keep warmer and I should lose less heat from the rooms. I've not been able to solve the problem of circulation though as they need to have free flow around them and the heat disipates into the air within feet.
